This is about a player with some kind of emotional issues who quit on a team. You can't get away with something like that in the NFL if you're not a good player. That's just fact. It soils his reputation in the eyes of NFL execs. His parents took the matters into their own hands and as I've theorized many times before it was to protect the rest of the rookie signing bonus he had coming to him. Paint the image that it was the team's and Cog's fault that he would no longer be able to fulfill the obligations of his contract.
